The yellow-bellied red-eared turtle is not a complete aquatic turtle. They need to use their lungs to breathe, so they need to regularly float to the surface to breathe. This determines that they are not suitable for living in deep water. If the water is too deep, they are likely to become very similar when they float to the surface, and even drowning may occur in the process, which needs to be avoided as much as possible. In addition, if the yellow-bellied red-eared turtles are kept in deep water for a long time, they will be infected by some bacteria present in the water, so that they may get diseases, such as nail rot and so on.

Therefore, when breeding red-eared tortoises Don't let them live in deep water. In addition, considering that they also need regular sun exposure, you can set up a dry area in the container, put a dry template, or simulate a beach environment, which is more beneficial to the growth of the red-eared turtle.
